Kankakee County Nursing Home Information
Families turn to long-term care facilities when their loved ones cannot live independently, and require care and assistance with everyday tasks. Deciding to place a loved one in a nursing home is one of the hardest decisions a family must make, and often very emotional. Families trust that these facilities will provide their loved ones with the care and treatment the need and deserve. However, sometimes facilities and employees breach this trust, and residents are injured or killed as a result.
What if my Loved One is Abused in a Nursing Home?
There are federal and Illinois laws created to protect the safety and well-being of this vulnerable population .When a nursing home resident suffers serious injuries or loss of life as a result of employee negligence or mistakes, families have the right to take legal action to hold wrongdoers accountable. Nursing home lawsuits not only help families recover compensation for the harms caused, but also send a message to nursing home corporations, administrators and employees that poor care or abuse will not be tolerated.

Testimonials
Not only were they so professional but also so caring and thoughtful. It was very difficult going over the facts in our mother's case but they were so compassionate and understanding and allowed us to be with them every step of the way. We were able to sit in on the depositions and we were really able to see how hard they worked on our behalf.
During that time, my family and I suffered the loss of my mother. Mr. Levin and Mr. Perconti were more than just our lawyers. Words can’t really express our gratitude.
They were most patient and responded timely to many questions throughout the entire process. All demonstrated professionalism and extensive knowledge of case and state laws. Their in-depth investigative work uncovered details which were unknown to us and yet sadly confirmed our suspicions. We would recommend the Levin and Perconti Law firm and especially this team.
During that time, my family and I suffered the loss of my mother. Mr. Levin and Mr. Peconti were more than just our lawyers. Words can’t really express our gratitude. My family and I will always be grateful for the compassion that they showed us. I want to thank you for what you did for my family, and for always being there for us.
Margaret’s representation, guidance, and professionalism gave us the sense that we could put our trust in Levin & Perconti and the final outcome proved that to be true.
